Giant Encephalocele means diameter of encephalocele is greater than maximum diameter of brain.[2,3,5,6]
We found a single case series of giant encephalocele.[1]
Summary
Giant encephalocele means encephalocele diameter is greater than maximum diameter of Neonatal head (Fig. 1). Incidence of neonatal giant encephalocele is 3.6%.1. It may contain cerebrospinal fluid, meninges, brain and venous sinuses (Fig. 2). These cases are challenging to Neurosurgeon, Neuroanaesthesia, neuroradiologist and Nursing care staff. Anesthesia in these cases is challenging due to large posterior Encephalocele, intra operative blood loss and hypothermia.[2,3,4] In our retrospective study we analyzed occipito-suboccipital neonatal giant encephalocele and review the Literature
